Stucco unstuck!





After many weeks with only plywood on the house, we learned that the original stucco company that had bid on the project was no longer interested in carrying it out. A last minute scramble to find someone else who could do it led to Sunset Stucco (who are awesome and work on weekends even). Check out their rig and the transformation of the house. The house must about R-infinity by the time they finish. Consider the layers on the front from the inside out: drywall, then thick foam insulation, then plywood, then a kind of grey cement layer, then styrofoam, then another layer of grey cement, then (we think but it hasn't happened yet) the layer of colour. Many tiny flecks of styrofoam sprinkle down from above, making it look like it's snowing. There always seems to be someone outside of a window! Well never mind about privacy -- we're thrilled that progress is being made while the weather is still good. The roof railing is up too, except for the glass.
